awarded at the September 8, 2004 meeting for the painting at Springfield Oaks and the Red Oaks

that best suits the department, which Mr. Anderson acknowledged he had been aware of and signed.

ITEM #12
GRILL ROOM UPDATE
GLEN OAKS
Plans for the Glen Oaks improvements have been completed and
submitted to Farmington Hills. Review is taking considerably longer than they
indicated. The mechanical portion went out for bid; we received only one bid,
which was considerably over the estimate. Staff has been working with
Purchasing and the bidder to resolve that issue.
Staff anticipated the project to start the end of October or early November.
As a result of these issues, the project will be delayed 30 days. As soon as the
issue with the bid is resolved, it will be presented to the Commission.

Glen Oaks Grill Room Renovation
Mechanical Construction
Bids were received for the installation of the mechanical equipment for the Glen
Oaks Grill Room Renovation. This construction included all the material and
labor for the installation of all the mechanical systems for this renovation
including a new 20-ton HVAC unit, a kitchen air make-up unit, new ducts
servicing an older unit, exhaust fans and other miscellaneous work.
Only one bid was received:
DanBoise Mechanical Inc. $194,028.00
Farmington, MI
This bid was appreciably over the budgeted amount of $115,000. Staff re -looked
at the project and determined that there were several items that could be
completed by our park crews.
These items are as follows:
• All demolition, including installation of ceiling area planking, for the
installation of all ductwork
• The installation of new HVAC to be connected to existing gas and
electrical lines
• The installation of two exhaust fans to be completed by park crews
• Duct work to be stubbed for existing 5-ton HVAC to 25 tons
*Additional cost for increasing the new 20-ton to 25-ton.
In reviewing this with Dan Boise Mechanical Inc., a new quote was received in
the amount of $126,834, plus $3,282 for increasing the new 20-ton to 25-ton, for
a total mount of $130,116.
Staff recommends awarding the contract to DanBoise Mechanical Inc. in the
amount of $130,116, plus a contingency of $2,884, for a total budget amount of
$133,000.
This project is part of the approved Glen Oaks Building Maintenance Budget for
2005.
ITEM #13
GOLF COURSE IMPROVEMENTS
SPRINGFIELD OAKS
In May of this year, the Commission awarded to Raymond Hearn Golf
Course Design a contract to develop a master plan for improvements to the
Springfield Oaks Golf Course.
On display for your viewing and enclosed are the final design
improvements that Raymond Hearn has recommended, along with an estimated
price for the proposed changes or work to be completed.
Staff has had several meetings with Raymond Hearn on this project, and
their input is incorporated in these plans.
Staff recommends we proceed with obtaining construction plans for this
project and bid out the construction of this work on a phased -in work schedule.
This will allow us to avoid disrupting play and to address the items that need
attention first, such as rebuilding sand trips.
This item is open for discussion and commission input.

OAKLAND COUNTY GOLF COURSES INFORMATIONAL UPDATE
Staff provided the attached golf course update in response to a request
from the General Government Committee.
This information is scheduled for presentation at the General Government
Committee's November 8 meeting.

Memo
To: William Patterson, Chairperson, General Government Committee
Date: November 1, 2004
Re: Oakland County Golf Courses Informational Update
In September, the General Government Committee requested an informational update on the Oakland County Parks
and Recreation Commission golf courses.
First, I would like to provide a history of when each of these courses was obtained and the manner in which it was
obtained.
Springfield Oaks — Originally a 9-hole course donated to the Oakland County Parks in 1966. The Parks Commission
then completed the construction of an additional 9 holes, with the added recreation aspects of cross-country skiing and a
preservation plan.
White Lake Oaks — Purchased in 1970 from owners who were in financial danger of losing the course. The community
requested our involvement, and we saw how the Parks could turn it around and offer recreation, plus pay for itself.
Red Oaks — This was a combined effort with the Oakland County Drain Commission to take an open pit drain and to
provide another recreation activity in the highly populated southeast section of Oakland County, which the Commission
did in 1976.
Glen Oaks — Purchased from the Moslem Temple, A.A.O.N.M.S. in 1978. At that time, it was run down and under
consideration for development into condos or other housing. The community wanted us to help save the green space,
preserve the historic banquet center, and keep the golf course, which the Parks Commission reviewed and completed.
Lyon Oaks — Parkland was acquired in 1992, and the golf course was opened in 2001. The course was developed after
a planning session with residents and Parks Commissioners to help the 1,000-acre site become self-sustaining. In order
to do this, a golf course was built.
All of these courses are here today as county parks with no intention of abandoning the public ownership of these lands.
These parks are open year round for golf and winter cross-country skiing.
Some of the revenues from the golf courses go right back to the Oakland County communities. This past year over $2.4
million went back for full and part-time salaries and wages for employees, including seniors and students. Over $1 million
defrayed costs to operate other facilities in the county parks system.
Attached is a list of golf courses located in Oakland County, noting those that have changed ownership or who owns
them today. Also attached is the number of people who golfed at the Oakland County golf courses over the last two
years (Budget year 2004 — 214,452 golfers). Finally, attached are copies of letters to the editors written in response to
the recent story published in The Oakland Press.
Parks staff will be available to answer any questions you may have.

Subject: Golf in Oakland County
Dear Commissioner Patterson,
I read with interest the article in the Oakland Press regarding the County
Parks operated golf courses in Oakland County. I have some sympathy with
the private sector golf courses, but see no reason for the County Parks
Commission or the Oakland County Commission to take an interest in this
matter.
The number of courses available to the public are numerous in Oakland
County, but many residents cannot afford the rates charged by the private
courses. The public courses insure that the economies bf scale make the
recreational facilities available to all residents of Oakland County, as
well as any visitor to our region.
I see no conflict of interest. The public votes for and supports the
millages for the operation of the parks. The parks also generate funds to
operate for the public benefit. That the Oakland County Parks
commissioners do an outstanding job of creating and maintaining excellent
facilities is hardly a reason for criticism. It is far more plausible that
the general market forces for golf courses are the cause for distress. The
value of property in Oakland County is well known, and the resulting costs
to live, work and prosper here are equally high. The public does not owe
the private sector any guarantee of profitability. In the larger scheme of
things, there are many more private courses that are doing very well than
there are county owned public courses in Oakland County.
I am sure that given a choice, which they have when they vote, residents
will choose a golf course before another subdivision or commercial
development.
Please take my opinion and comments into your consideration of this matter.
Very truly yours,
Michael McDonald

State wants partner to help
keep Commerce Twp. site
By Mike Martindale
The Detroit News
COMMERCE TOWNSHW
—The future of a'70o-acre tract
of state-owned land remains
undecided, although many par-
ties have expressed interest in
it. -
Michigan owns about boo
acres that sit north and south of
Wise between Union Lake and
Carroll Lake roads, but finds
the land occupies too much of
its conservation officers' time.
The Walled Lake School
System sees the propertyas a
potential solution to growing
enrollment. The township is
open to suggestions. Members
of the Save Our State (SOS)
land committee would like it to
remain the undeveloped recre-
ation land it has been for more
than a half -century.
"We don't believe there's
need for another school," said
Robert Phillips, an SOS chair-
man. "We've had one enormous
school built already. There's a
lot of vacant land there that
could be used to build another
school. Our problem is we're
becoming overdeveloped, and'
the last thing we have for open
land' is our parks."
Phillips said citizens are
rarely notified of any develop-
ment plans, and the next thing
they know, land is bought up
and "tilled up to your property
line."
"It seems that construction
doesn't work like it once did,"
Phillips said. "It seems as if the
environment is not as much of a
concern as it used to be. They
used to build within a forested
section or build around trees.
Now they just go through and
level an area. "It's kind of outra-
geous to take parks that we are
used to seeing and develop
them into something else."
Since the 195os, the land in
question has been used at vari-
ous times as a place to store
missiles, as a home to nature
trails for hiking and biking and
as a spot to try and turn around
at -risk youth.
At other times, young peo-
ple and adults have visited
there to openly break the law,
said Paul Yauk, land program
manager for the state parks and
recreation department.
"It's"really a former Nike site
a leftover from the Cold War
era," said Yauk, adding that the
federal government put three
missile silos on the property in
the late,1940s as part of the De-
troit def nse strategy and re-
moved them in the early 1970s.
"Now it's largely used ille-
gally by people who don't pay
fees," he said, "They go there to
play paintball games and drive
their off -the -road vehicles that type of thing."
Yauk noted state conserva-
tion officers are often diverted
from the _adjacent 3,78o-acre
Proud Lake Recreation area
nearby to chase and ticket scof-
flaws.
"The property isn't fenced,
and we don't collect fees there,"
said Yauk. "There is no 'formal
parking. It's not even signed.
It's our job to maintain it, but
there really isn't much to main-
tain because we haven't put
anything up on the property."
Yauk said the state is looking
for some kind of a partner,
"Do we want to sell it off?
No, but a state review of our
properties made it clear we
wanted to separate it from
Proud Lake (recreation area),"
he said.
Yauk said the Walled Lake
School system has shown an in-
terest in about 155 acres.
"We are reviewing that and
aren't completely comfortable
with it," said Yauk. "We would
Like to see it modified. We
would like this to be discussed
with the locals and have some
of their concerns addressed.
But we think, coming from a
school system, that the request
has merit."
Walled Lake Schools Super
intendent Robert Geisler said
the property is seen as an insur-
ance policy for the future in
that the growing school district t
could find itself in a position
where it would have to seize
property through the courts to
build more schools.
"We've had some smaller t
pieces of property bought up s
years ago that we had to sell be
cause they were insufficient for t

Robert Phillips and Nicole Mortimer of the Save Our State (SOS) land committee are trying to
save a 7oo-acre parcel in Commerce Township from more development
Wild turkeys roam an undeveloped piece of land along Wise
Road. Residents are trying to save one of the last parcels of
forest in Commerce Township.
a contemporary school situa-
tion," said Geisler. "Today, you
have to figure in much more
space for parking and other
needs."
Geisler said the schools
were only interested in 30 to 40
acres, which would not be de-
veloped for several years, if at
all:
"The way the township is
growing it appears it's only a
matter of time before we need
o build another school, per-
haps a middle school or grade
school," he said. "But that might
not ever happen."
A copy of the schools' land
ransaction application to the
tate, signed by Geisler, indi-
cates the school is interested in
wo parcels of the 70o-acre
property: One is about So acres
south of Wise Road and was a
former missile site and is near
what is now used for a Cross-
roads for Youth program; and a
second So -acre parcel on the
north side of Wise abuts De-
partment of Natural Resources
property and has been left in its
natural state,
Some officials think the land
could be converted into'a park
or a historic site, .but Com-
merce Township Supervisor
Thomas Zoner said the town-
ship lacks the "pocket money"
to purchase the land.
"Some acres around the
township are selling for
S50,000," said Zoner. "That
would cost upwards of $35 mil-
lion. We don't have any money
like that lying around:'
The township has an open
spaces proposal on the Nov z
ballot to set up a fund to buy
property and maintain its cur-
rent parks. Zoner said regard-
less of how that particular vote
goes, residents have to be real-
istic about their expectations
on development and change in
even the most rural areas.
"People who buy land adja-
cent to a piece of wooded or
forested property and expect it
to remain virgin forever are
looking through a different type
of window," said Zoner. "You
don't have control over pieces
of property you don't own. This
is the United States of America,
and people have the right to de-
velop property within the law"
Zoner hopes eventually
there will be some middle
ground for sides to meet on the
Wise Road issue.
"We have master plans to
govern land use," said Zoner. "I
think it's great for people to
stand up and say 'we like the
way things are and don't want it
to change:
"But a school may, only take
up a small piece .of land and
leave the rest for good recre-
ational use — that could be a
plus as well," he said.
